[OOC] AURUM: No need to spend that luck -
AURUM: A flurry of blows cut into the Name Eater!
AURUM: …let me tell you a story.
Solberg: Another one?
AURUM: Once, long ago, there lived an insatiable hero.
AURUM: They weren't happy with just being one hero, of one story…
Ezekiel: Stories within Stories, zoidberg.
AURUM: …so they invented a beast that would rend the flesh of anyone who'd presume a hero's fame…
AURUM: …and set the beast loose upon creation.
AURUM: With savage winter-fangs, the beast devoured hero after hero…
AURUM: For a while, it looked like all the worlds might have only remembered one hero, responsible for every act of protagonism that ever happened!
AURUM: But then, the winter-wolf faded into history…
AURUM: …and here at the end of the world, met with a fated adversary, whose name and life it had stolen away.
AURUM: Battle order: Peregrine [F]:0 Name Eater [F]:1

AURUM: Hits!Flip` rolled 1d12+150 and got 11 ( Total: 161.0 )
AURUM: …and in the end…
AURUM: …the Name Eater died, its last howl stumbling into a whisper, and then into silence.[Gained 17 XP!]Flip` lifts the beast up with a roar, pushing his blade further, an eviscerating cut… and then he shakes his new white wolf fur cloak and drapes it around his shoulders.
[OOC] Flip: Thats The Privalege of A Pure Heart, Motherfuckers
Solberg: "Did we jump from Shakespeare to C.S. Lewis metaphors?"Nine shakes his head "(Why would anyone object to more heroes, anyway?)" he walks over to Flip, putting a hand on his shoulder "That’s one apocalypse killed"Flip‘ laughs and claps Nine on the shoulder. "Its what I do best. … Second best. … Third best."
Ezekiel: "I’uno."
AURUM: The monster-hunters are going wild! None of them have ever seen a battle that fierce! …or at least, that's the impression you get. There are some BIG monsters on the horizon, lumbering around, but this one was special.
[OOC] Flip: except that one hunter that hasnt stopped eating chicken wings. He gives No Fucks.
Solberg: "Is one of those hunters named Aslan? I mean, we have this whole Winter analogue."
Eidolon: "Good show, friend."
Eidolon: "Still fit like yesterday?"Nine looks around, takes a deep breath "I think we still have…" he looks to see wether the tide of monsters has slowed. By all means it shouldn't, but narrative convenience probably states that it hasSolberg gestures around Flip's shoulders with both hands. "So, lions. And a wardrobe. I guess the wolf was the witch."Flip‘ chuckles at Eidolon. "Like it was just waiting for me. It’s good to be back."
Ezekiel: "War….drobe… I GET IT!"
AURUM: It's… pretty much died off by now. The Ronso are doing a bit of clean-up work joyfully, but… yeah, it's over. Some of them are even going right back to the food tables and getting back into the festivities!
Nine: "Nope, it worked as I thought. I suppose it really is convenient…" he sighs, and just takes a seat, and picks up a drink (it's water)Flip‘ is *definitely* hitting up the food and drink tables now. "Lets party, guys! We just killed… well I can’t really explain it all. But its worth a party, I promise."
Ezekiel: "On it!"Ezekiel dives for the table.
Solberg: "Ezekiel."Flip‘ snatches Nines water out of his hand. "Nope! Party drink!" … and hands him a cup of spiced cider. Still no alcohol, but its warm and really fucking tasty.
Ezekiel: "Sup?" Just kind of lazily shovelling food into his mouth.
Solberg: "I don’t say this often, but I do believe I'm feeling uninhibited enough during this occasion to request some of your stash."Nine blinks, sure he drinks it! And winces "Aah-"
Nine: "Aha- This is new"
Flip: "There you go. Nothing wrong with water, but sometimes you gotta change it up a little."Ezekiel digs around in one of his coat pockets, tosses one towards Solberg. "Have at it!"
Nine: "Yeah… I just haven't had anything this strong in… Forever"Solberg takes a seat, kicks their legs up on the table, and lights up, taking a rare moment to relax.Eidolon finds himself a replacement eclair, and doesn't bother pouring the wine into a glass.
Flip: "I figured. Hang in there, yeah? Even if you can't fix your old world, I'll just make you a new one."Nine smiles
Nine: "AT this point I feel like saying"
Nine: "Who do you think I am?"
Nine: "Either way, enjoy the party, this one's yours after all" he raises up his drink, and continues drinking. IT's not bad at all
Flip: "I have no idea, but you do remind me of an old friend of mine. You're a hell of a lot faster than he was though."Nine chucklesSolberg reaches in a coat pocket and hands Ezekiel a cigar in return. "If it's your thing."Flip‘ clinks his mug against Nines and heads off. Dancing! Food! Big blue women!
Nine: "Once someone told me that engineers are all alike"
Ezekiel: "I mean, who in their right mind lets slip an opportunity to light up a giant fukkin’ stoaggie and pretend their rich and cultured? Hell yeah." Ezekiel sits up on the table and does just that.
Solberg: "Me, apparently."
Solberg: "Only because I don't pretend that part."Flip‘ whirling dervish past Solberg. YOINK! Someone is getting danced, at least for a minute.
Ezekiel: "Obviously."
Clarafina: "Naturally."Clarafina watches them go.
[OOC] Solberg: past or - am i the one getting grabbed
[OOC] Flip: you are totally getting hauled up and danced with for a minute yeahNine smiles as he watches Flip and Solberg
AURUM: yessssss
Clarafina: "Nine."
Clarafina: "That’s the smile of someone who thinks he has avoided dancing."Solberg whirls up with Flip for a moment, but otherwise won't have their inertia ruined. Or at least, they take a moment to put out their joint. [Empty Dance]
[OOC] Flip: lets you keep half the joint to share out later
Nine: "Maybe"
[OOC] Solberg: u get it
[OOC] Flip: i get itClarafina takes Nine's hand. "You have not. Misfortune falls equally on us all!"
Eidolon: "Wrong answer, Nine."Ezekiel glances over at Eidolon.Nine stands up, taking Clarafina's hand "I suppose so"Eidolon glances up at Ezekiel.
AURUM: (o.o)
Ezekiel: "I mean I'm no weird all eldritch horror occupying the body of some fucked up space demon ship………….. but……………………….."Nine perhaps, perhaps surprisingly, lead Clarafina to dance. He's nimble and practiced as well, his moves quite vigorous.
Ezekiel: "(Though honestly not enough untz-a-untz-a for me.)" Ezekiel beatboxes a bit to demonstrate.
Eidolon: "Oh just get up, this troupe isn't going to lead itself." He does a sharp whistle and beckons to some of the Ronso. There's gonna at least be a dance formation and some hakas!
Ezekiel: "Okay but you need to make someone fukkin' drop a beat."
AURUM: Aw hell yeah.Ezekiel rolls off the table.
AURUM: Some of the Ronso get right the fuck on that, are you kidding me?
Solberg: "A moment."Solberg pauses their dance to go to the food table, retrieve a beet, and drop it next to where Ezekiel was laying.Solberg resumes.
AURUM: There's… even a few of those little trumpet salamanders getting in on this, blushing shyly. Please don't notice me, they convey through body language, while playing… trumpets. Well, okay.
Ezekiel: "Hahaha. You stoned."
AURUM: Well, anyways…
Eidolon: "So… when does the plot pot drop? Not that pot, the XP one."
Ezekiel: "Whenever, I guess!"Nine does not goes along with the dance for too long, he tires fast, but he brings it to an end with a bold move, raising Clarafina off the ground and sending her upwards, before catching her again. He carries her off to where he was sitting and sets her down beside him "Can't do that too long, I hope you understand"Nine looks at Eidolon and Ezekiel "Shortly before we need to move on, I bet"Flip‘ shrugs. "Who cares? if all I wanted was that pot, I’d have made this cloak red." he looks off into thin air. "Yeah you heard me."
AURUM: …the party goes on for a while… none of you get a glimpse of Suvarna the entire time. Maybe he went and hid after the Name Eater went after him..?
Clarafina: "You can't really hold onto fellow travelers, can you?"Nine … Will actually look for Suvarna once he notices the boy isn't around
Clarafina: "We'll meet again."
AURUM: …later on, there's a bunch of yelling from the direction of the tower.Nine just wants to make sure he didn'get eaten offscreen-
Clarafina: "Heheheh… sooner than later."Eidolon won't look, but…Flip‘ grins. "I knew it."Clarafina hops and dashes to investigate.Nine is definitely the first to runFlip` strolls that way.Ezekiel follows, probably. Still lazily waving the cigar around in the air and making fat smoke rings.Solberg follows behind, hands in pockets.
AURUM: Obviously, the upshot of it is that the XP in the magic pot has gone ’missing'. Which… the Ronso are basically happy about, because it means they fulfilled their duty and can go back to killing monsters without worrying about the pot filling up.
Flip: "Thank god. I was worried he might have skipped town without it. That would have been awkward."
Clarafina: "Ah."
AURUM: Half a moment passes, and there's an enormous -roar-, and a rainbow-coloured rocket plume goes up, soaring into the distance, glittering in the moonlight.
Nine: "Hrm… Not precisely the direction I expected this to go. Not an unexpected one" he looks at the plume heading off
Clarafina: "Well, let's follow!"
Eidolon: "That's why you don't do so many shots of XP in a row."
Nine: "Hrm… I wonder wether he really is or not…"
Nine: "Eidolon is the ship still alright?" the ship was in the tower, right?
AURUM: Seems like the rocket's going up towards the surface of the moon! …the Storm-White can probably follow it all the way there, right? The ship's docked at the tower, and it's perfectly fine - the Ronso even stocked it with some extra delicious monster meat for you guys.
Eidolon: "Oh, yeah, it would have been a problem if he hid in the tower and -then- exploded."
Solberg: "Do we … even need to worry about that?"
Eidolon: "But she's fine, and we can continue this party crawl to the next venue."
Nine: "That is likely our next destination"
Ezekiel: "I mean,"
Ezekiel: "What else is goin' on?"
Ezekiel: "Go in the direction of things happenin."
Nine: "Given the choice of names that boy has had, names such as " Deception " when we first met, and now he is going by " Golden ""
Nine: "The way he picked up that… Essence of power"
Nine: "I've the feeling it's in our interest to follow"
AURUM: As you board the ship, and prepare to follow the rocket plume - it's really sticking around, almost like it's forming a road - you can see words forming in its shifting smoky surface - ＜秩序大木ヘン ： Ｔｈｅ Ｌａｔｈｅ ｏｆ Ｈｅａｖｅｎ＞
Ezekiel: "yeah, see?"
Clarafina: "As we know, such incredible power…"
Clarafina: "Certainly corrupts."
Clarafina: "Everyone, prepare for an excision…!"Clarafina tilts her head. "Or a stomach-pumping…?"
Solberg: "Icicle-stabbing."
Flip: "Sorry, I'm at-quota on stomach diving. Next one's definitely on someone else."
AURUM: There's some sort of fumes drifting off the rocket plume, curling around the Barbariccia. They're making you feel a little weird…
Solberg: "I vote Nine."
AURUM: …but that's a story for another time. Sometime really soon!
Nine: "Getting high on rocket fuel fumes…"
Nine: "That's an experience I was not planning on having"
AURUM: I mean, it's… magic, not 'rocket smoke'. Or it's magic rocket smoke. Heavy emphasis on the magic, is the point I'm tryin' to get at. Smells a little like incense..?
AURUM: Anyways.
AURUM: Try not to drift off and fall off the deck…?
